Ezile Bay Village Eco Lodge, Ghana

Ezile Bay Village Eco Lodge can only be described as Eco-Paradise and very secluded. This resort is located on a beautiful empty beach very near the Cape Three Points area in Western Ghana right next to the village of Akwidaa. Owned by a friendly French couple who have made Ghana and Ezile bay their home, and have worked hard to make your stay comfortable while protecting the environment and contributing with the development of nearby villages. Between Jungle and Beach, between villages and rivers, there is plenty to do and see, or even just spend your time relaxing.

Solar power now provides light and electricity to the 5 bungalows built in local Akan tradition, available for sleeping in right on the beach which have their own showers. Showers for other rooms are enjoyed with privacy but open air, allowing you to shower under the stars or overlooking the beautiful Ezile Bay. There are also 4 large family suits with outside showers and toilets.

In addition to the beautiful beach and resort there is ample opportunity to hike and explore the surrounding Cape Three Point area. The near by village of Akwidaa will welcome you as guest, you can then take a canoe up the Ezile river through the mangroves. There is a great surfing beach within 5 minutes of walking as an extra bonus, the resort will offer body boards if you are not a surfer.

Impressions of cleanliness from online reviews are good.

Impressions of Safety online were positive.

Aspects of in person evaluation that could use some improvement:

First contact was shaky when we walked to the resort from Akwidaa, the manager had just walked into the forest and the other staff didn’t really know what was going on or how to get him. They did try to address my needs though.

There was some dust on some of the surfaces in rooms, could just be because of the dry season, and off season.

There doesn’t seem to be much security but it really isn’t needed in this area.
